BUG GUARD REPELLENT Q & A

Bug Guard Q & A

Why Bug Guard??

As spring approaches, it's time for sunshine, warmer temperatures and BUGS. You may have questions about how to protect yourself and your family from those pesky mosquitos and flying/crawling creatures that annoy us when outdoors. 

There are many products out there and sometimes choosing the right one can be a tedious task. DEET or no DEET, pump or aerosol, lotion or spray? Avon to the rescue.  

The Ins and Outs of Avon Bug Guard

Below are some common Q&A’s that might be helpful to choose Bug Guard.

Q:  Are the Skin So Soft Bug Guard products effective repellents?

A:  Yes! Avon is proud to offer families trusted insect repellent protection. For maximum efficacy, we recommend that consumers use our products in accordance with the package instructions.  

Q:  Some sources I've read say a 20% concentration of Picaridin is better than 10%. Is that true?

A:  While concentration of the active ingredient is important it's not the only consideration. How an insect repellant is formulated with other ingredients can make a big difference. What's important to understand is that all EPA-approved insect repellents are effective as long as you re-apply them in accordance with the manufacturers use instructions on the individual product labels. 

Q: Does Skin So Soft Bath Oil work as a repellent?

A:  While we know that many consumers have turned to Skin So Soft Bath Oil, the product is actually not intended to repel mosquitoes or sold for that purpose, and is not approved by the EPA as a repellent.

Q:  Is Skin So Soft Plus IR3535 Expedition effective?

A:  Yes, its effectiveness has been reviewed and approved by the EPA. Skin So Soft Plus IR3535 Expedition is a safe, effective product for consumers who want the convenience of a sunscreen and insect repellent in one.

Here's what some satisfied customers are saying about SSS Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Expedition.
Allie from Southern CA writes "I have 3 grown boys who travel a lot and camp, bike, hike, in all different places. I hope they will use it."

Chris from Tucson AZ writes "I was looking for something like this to use when I walk my dog. I can't stand mosquitos & the SPF is just an added plus. Doesn't have a strong smell and feels nice.

Beachside Resident states "been buying this for several straight years - we live a block off the beach in Florida and no-see-ums are vicious here - this product does the trick. Always have a supply on hand for us and for any visitors. effetively repels no-see-ums - highly recommend."

Choose Bug Guard to protect your family this spring and summer!

Hair Care with Argan Oil

Avon Shampoo and Conditioner with Argan Oil 

I don't know about other bloggers, but I get inspiration for blogs while doing daily tasks. Something just pops in my head and I say to myself, "you should write a blog article about that". While in the shower this morning, I reached for my shampoo and thought about when I switched to this one a few months ago and the affect it has had on my hair. If any of you have gone through menopause, the changes in the texture of your hair can be quite significant. My hair became very dull and dry looking, which was never the case before.  So I started doing some research on hair products with Argan oil. 

Now that my hair is dry, I wanted to share some information that may help others choose the right products for their specific hair concerns. Here's what I found out about Argan oil.  The pure oil is extracted from the nut of the Argan tree found in semi-desert areas of the Mediterranean where it survives heavy winds, dry temperatures and little water.  The nut's oil has a unique profile that is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. With high concentrations of essential fatty acids and vitamin E, Argan oil naturally helps revitalize hair, bringing back the shine and body to the dull lifeless look. I wanted some! 

As an Avon representative, I always try my own products first and began using 360 Nourish Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner.  I am very happy with the results and you can't beat the price compared to what I have seen in the stores. 

But don't take it just from me. Here is a summery of the product reviews found on youravon.com/denisekrupa

7 SINS FOR SKIN #7

7 SINS FOR SKIN #7 Sleep Positions

The way you sleep can increase the appearance of wrinkles. Side sleeping can cause deep lines and creases on your chin and cheeks, which you naturally return to each night.  Let's face it, gravity takes over as our skin ages and loses elasticity. Side sleepers usually notice vertical lines down their chin and cheeks.

Sleeping face down can create lines on your forehead. When your face is directly on the pillow, there is increased pressure and friction on the forehead that eventually leads to wrinkles.  Not to mention the direct contact your skin has with the oils or dust on the pillow.  This could lead to acne or other skin blemishes. 

Sleeping on your back is the best way to prevent lines and wrinkles. There is no friction on the skin and no contact with dirt and oils on the pillow. One suggestion if you are a back sleeper. Don't sleep completely flat. Elevate your head to discourage fluid from collecting around the eyes, giving a puffy appearance in the morning.  Other than that, sleeping on your back is the best position to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles on your face. 

This concludes the 7 Sins for Skin series. I hope you have enjoyed reading these short articles and have taken away some good information about how to take care of your skin.

7 SINS FOR SKIN #6

7 SINS FOR SIN #6 EVERYDAY DIET

Fast food, sugar and empty calories can wreck your waistline and your skin.

The more nutrient-dense your diet is, the healthier your skin will be. Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants.

It is easy for me to say pick the fruits and veges because I do not have a sweet tooth. Lucky me right? But the old saying of garbage in, garbage out really comes into play here. It makes sense that what we eat is a direct reflection on not only how we feel, but also how we look.  

Our skin needs hydration, nutrients and vitamins just like the rest of our body. The skin is in fact the largest organ of the body. Eating right will help our waistlines and improve the texture and health of our skin. 

Why not give it a try? Eat an apple, have a salad, grill some fish or just drink a big glass of water. Your skin will love you for it!

7 SINS FOR SKIN #5

7 SINS FOR SKIN #5 FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

The 15,000 facial expressions you make every day can damage skin. Frowning, smiling, squinting—the constant movement of facial muscles causes skin fibers to slacken. Over time, these creases become wrinkles.

Many facial expressions show how we are feeling. Smiling...we are happy, frowning...sad, squinting...stressed or thinking about something, eyes wide open...shock or worry. They all show our expressions of how we feel inside. These are inevitable emotions that we sometimes cannot control. So what do we do about it?? If you find yourself frowning a lot, find something that makes you happy and will make you smile more. If you find yourself squinting, relax your facial muscles or wear your sunglasses. 

Facial muscles can be trained just like any other muscle in the body. Here's my "double" advice, not as an Avon rep, but as someone with physical therapy background. Training your facial muscles is as easy as saying the vowels. Stand in front of a mirror, and exaggerate the vowels x 10 reps. You will be making funny faces at yourself and will be smiling more by the end of the exercise! Then cleanse your face and apply moisturizer. The perfect prescription. 

I love when I can give advice in both areas of my expertise!
